Video: A burly man with a neat beard drives an SUV that tows a jet ski on a trailer. He's interviewed in a garage decorated with old-fashioned postcards and signs.
Audio: Man: When there is something about us that's visible to the outside world, there's nowhere to hide.
Video: The man's parked on a boat ramp, with the jet ski trailer in the water. He walks around the SUV. His right leg is a prosthetic, his left arm finishes above the elbow, and his right hand is missing fingers. He winds a winch, easing the jet ski into the water. He pulls in a rope, looping it across his arm stump. Wet to the knees, he climbs onto the jetty.
Audio: Man: My parents just wanted me to grow up normally. If I wanted something and it was over the other side of the lounge room, they made me get across there. I can hop really well. [laughs]
Video: Holding the mooring rope, he walks up the jetty and ties off the floating jet ski. Standing on the jet ski, he cruises from the wharf.
Audio: Man: My disability is called amniotic band syndrome; literally all four limbs I've got a disability on. Every day you live with a disability, there's challenges that come up. If somebody says, "No", I say, "Watch me".
Video: As he motors away, sunbeams radiate from a log gap in the clouds, bathing the water with gentle light. In the distance, cranes loom above a cargo ship. The title 'Journeys' appears above the Australia Post logo. Aerial footage shows huge cargo ships moored at industrial wharves. There's a cluster of skyscrapers in the distance. The Australia Post logo appears in the top right corner. Heavy machinery moves a freight container. A forklift sits near stacks of pallets.
Audio: Man: I always wanted to work for a large freight company. People that worked for these companies were there for 15, 20, 25 years. Ultimately, that was the dream. A good paying stable job. The first job I applied for I was found to be unsuccessful at the time. A couple of years later there was advertisements for forklift drivers so I applied and was unsuccessful again.
Video: The man strides toward the forklift.
Audio: Man: I heard through the grapevine that there was a freight company – they were hiring basically anyone that had a truck licence. There was plenty of training agencies that said, "No, we can't do that". One particular agency said, "Look, we'll go out for a drive now." He goes, "You probably shift gear better than half the recruits that come through."
Video: The man climbs behind the wheel of a huge blue truck. With his arm stump, he presses a large button on the dash. The engine starts.
Audio: Man: I got my truck driving licence and feeling very positive about myself, so I thought, "I've got this job." I didn't even get through to the interview stage.
Video: He sits motionless in the truck. Later, he stands watching a truck drive away.
Audio: Man: If someone like myself that was, you know, determined, over-qualified, hard-working, but still was just met with, "No, no, no, no," something has to change. Just give me the opportunity, you know, I won't let you down.
Video: The man strides along a line of large blue trucks. He gazes up at the StarTrack logo on a cabin.
Audio: Man: I applied to StarTrack back in 2016 for a Fleet Controller's role. I was very sceptical, then I got a call. It was the HR department from StarTrack. They said that I had excelled in the interview and they gave me a start date, which was just...mind blowing.
Video: Wearing an Australia Post uniform polo shirt and black shorts, he stands near refuelling equipment. He strides through a StarTrack building. A truck drives away.
Audio: Man: 20 years after first applying in the freight industry, I got the job with Australia Post StarTrack. A Fleet Controller's main role is to ensure freight is collected in a timely fashion. It's extremely challenging. It's also rewarding.
Video: In an office, he types rapidly with his fingers and stump. The back of his uniform shirt features an Accessibility Matters logo. At home, he cooks on a barbecue. A girl hugs him. Carrying a tray of meat, he joins his daughter and wife at a table.
Audio: Man: I want to grow with Australia Post StarTrack and this is a message for people with all forms of disability – don't let it stop you. People told me that I'd probably never ride a bike, I'd never hold a car licence. People said, "You won't be able to hold a truck licence." And I said, "Watch me".
Video: He eats and laughs with his family.
Audio: Man: Kids especially, like, back through school they said that I'd never be able to do monkey bars. To this day, I can still not do monkey bars and that's one thing that's really got me my whole life.
Video: He poses with his wife and daughter in front of their suburban house. White text on a red screen reads, "To watch the full Journeys series, go to auspost.com.au/watch."
Audio: Voiceover: Just one story from over 60,000 team members, Australia Post. Delivering for Australia.
Video: "Delivering for Australia," appears under the Australia Post logo.
